As one of the mainstream battery technologies at present, lithium ion batteries are widely used in mobile power, electric vehicles, energy storage systems and other fields. However, the performance of lithium ion batteries in extremely low temperature environment is usually poor, which limits their application in extremely cold areas. In order to solve this problem, researchers put forward the concept of wide-temperature lithium-ion batteries, aiming at realizing lithium-ion batteries that can still work efficiently under truly ultra-low temperature conditions. This article will discuss the implementation principle, application scenarios and technical challenges of wide-temperature lithium ion batteries.

1. Implementation principle

the realization of wide temperature lithium ion battery mainly depends on the following key factors:

• electrolyte optimization: under the condition of low temperature, the traditional organic electrolyte will have the problem of solidification or reduction of ion conductivity. Therefore, it is necessary to develop efficient electrolyte to ensure that the battery can still work normally in low temperature environment.
• Electrode Material improvement: the selection and design of electrode materials also play a vital role in the performance of wide-temperature lithium ion batteries. Optimizing the structure and composition of electrode materials can improve the cycle performance and capacity retention rate of the battery at low temperature.
• Diaphragm improvement: in low temperature environment, the traditional diaphragm may freeze or fail, affecting the safety and performance of the battery. Therefore, it is very important for wide temperature lithium ion batteries to research and develop separators with good conductivity and stability.

2. Application scenarios

the realization of wide-temperature lithium-ion batteries will greatly expand the application scenarios of lithium-ion batteries in extremely cold areas, including but not limited:

• polar Research: when conducting scientific research tasks in polar regions, it is often necessary to work in extremely low temperature environment for a long time. Wide temperature lithium ion batteries can provide reliable power support for scientific research equipment.
• Transport in extremely cold areas: the use of electric vehicles in extremely cold areas is facing the problem of declining battery performance. Wide temperature lithium ion batteries can improve the endurance of electric vehicles in cold areas.
• Polar UAV: when conducting meteorological observation, environmental monitoring and other tasks in polar regions, unmanned aerial vehicles need to be able to fly stably in extremely low temperature environment, and wide temperature lithium ion batteries can provide stable power support.

3. Technical challenges

implementation wide temperature lithium ion battery there are still some technical challenges:

• electrolyte stability: at extremely low temperatures, the solidification or failure of electrolyte is still a challenge restricting the application of wide-temperature lithium ion batteries.
• Electrode material optimization: find suitable electrode materials to overcome the diffusion problem of electrode active substances at low temperature and improve the cycle performance and capacity retention rate of the battery.Diaphragm performance: develop membrane materials with good conductivity and isolation to ensure the safety and stability of the battery in low temperature environment.

The realization of wide-temperature lithium-ion batteries will greatly expand the application potential of lithium-ion batteries in extremely low temperature environments, providing new solutions for scientific research, transportation, unmanned aerial vehicles and other fields in extremely cold areas. Although facing some technical challenges in the process of implementation, with the continuous efforts and technological innovation of scientific researchers, it is believed that the realization of wide-temperature lithium ion batteries will bring new hopes and possibilities to the power supply in extremely cold areas.
